Investigators say a pellet stove started the fire that destroyed the home of former Fremont County Sheriff Tim McKinney last weekend. The home was on the family's Twin Creek ranch. Fire investigator Donnie Reed says the pellet stove ignited an outside wall of the house April 13. He says the two-story house south of Lander is a total loss. McKinney's daughter, Fremont County Assessor Tara Berg, says her father had burns to his arm and the side of his face during the blaze, which he initially tried to control with a fire extinguisher.
